Mexican Table Sauce
- 2 whole Regular Red Tomatoes
- 3 whole Roma Tomatoes
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Halved
- 2 whole Serrano Chilis, Stem Removed
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, To Drizzle
- 2 cloves Garlic, Peeled
- 1 cup Cilantro, Chopped
- 1/4 cups Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt To Taste
- The trick here is to roast most of your ingredients on high heat, getting a nice char to them.
- So lets begin.
- Preheat your oven to 475F.
- During this time add the tomatoes, onion, and serrano chilis to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, and place them in the preheated oven for roughly 25-30 minutes, or until they have completely charred.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- When the vegetables have cooled, remove the skin from the tomatoes and discard.
- Place the tomatoes, onions, serranos, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice into a blender or food processor.
- Blend into a sauce.
- So you are going to basically pulse this into a puree but I will let you decide if you want to leave it a bit chunky for any textural purposes.
- Pour into a serving bowl and taste.
- Season with salt to get your desired saltiness.
- My wife and I both agreed that this was probably the best sauce I have made, and I finally got it down to the simple ingredients and proper roasting time.
- Give this a shot, and let me know what you think.
